Every year, approximately 2.5 million students transfer to a different college. Statistics from the United States Department of Education suggest that close to 60% of college students will attend more than one school before they graduate.
Receiving an offer for an internship or job can be an overwhelming decision, particularly for a college student or recent graduate looking to start their career off on the right foot. Luckily, your student can talk with other professionals (such as yourself) who can lend a hand in making these tough choices.
June is yet another important transition time for both you and your college student. College students may have started a summer term, an internship or a job search. High school students may have realized that college is just around the corner and are busy getting ready for the fall semester. As a parent, you may be excited but, at the same time, overwhelmed about your student's new chapter in life. 
The term “helicopter parent” is widely associated with children of Generation Y, also known as Millennials. Many say that the parents of Gen Y tend to “hover over” their children and pay extremely close attention to their experiences and problems, often trying to help their children avoid life’s obstacles along the way.
The spring semester is ending. This may be a stressful time for both you and your college student. Your student has to study for the finals, plan her summer vacation and make arrangements for the fall semester. You are excited that your student may come home to visit and also concerned about the stress she's having.
Internships are an essential way for your student to gain experience and skills in today’s competitive employment marketplace. Not only do most college programs require at least one internship for a student to graduate, but also many entry-level jobs require internship experience to apply (and employers want candidates who have that experience under their belt!).
